The installation and uninstallation applications allow to selectively add or remove components. To choose specific features during installation, you must choose a custom setup option during installation .

You can remove specific Dynamic Server features after both typical and custom installations, provided that the features are not required for your system's integrity and that they have not been used in your implementation.

You can also add or reinstall specific features after completing setup of a Dynamic Server instance without reinstalling the base server. The installation and uninstallation applications detect your implementation's setup to prompt you about the features accordingly.

UNIX and Linux-platform installation=========================The manifest file manifest.inf ($INFORMIXDIR/etc/manifest.inf) and installed files IIFfiles.installed($INFORMIXDIR/etc/IIFfiles.installed ) on sites using J/Foundation, and at IDS2000files($INFORMIXDIR/etc/IDS2000files) for sites not using J/Foundation are dynamic files that log installation activity of an IDS instance. If any on the components is uninstalled the entry for that component is removed/deleted from the manifest.inf file .These "log files" can help you quickly see what features and component files are currently installed, as well as a history of such activity. Do not modify the content of these files.
